RIP Kenia....She was gone before anyone could do anything. He had chosen his victim as soon as he saw her. May this family get the justice they deserve!

I guess this thread should be moved to "Located"? Did LE make it official that Kenia was in fact found, I thought I read that this was confirmed.

It is horrible to think that she would never have been found, without the perp taking LE there. How many other missing people are buried in just such nondescript graves...

I am glad her family can have some closure now since they have located her body. May she RIP. Prayers to her family and friends. Such a pretty girl to have been killed by that monster. May he rot in hell.

Autopsy set for body believed to be Kenia Monge
The Denver County Coroner’s Office is performing an autopsy today on a body believed to missing Aurora teen Kenia Monge.

Denver police found the body Wednesday while in a “possible clandestine grave” near Keenesburg in rural Weld County, according to a statement from the coroner’s office. The Denver coroner took custody of the body from Weld County.

Officials haven’t confirmed that the body is that of 19-year-old Monge, who disappeared from a Denver night club in April.

Story just updated:

The Denver District Attorney has filed first degree murder charges against Travis Forbes for the death of Kenia Monge, the 19-year-old Aurora woman whose remains were unearthed in a field along Interstate 76 on Wednesday.

“The charge alleges that in the early morning hours of April 1, 2011, Forbes met the victim, convinced her to get into his car, and later killed her,” the DA’s office said in a statement. “Her body was recovered yesterday in an area of south Weld County after new information was developed jointly between the Denver DA’s Office and the Denver Police Department.”

DENVER, Colo. -- The remains of a 19-year-old woman who went missing after leaving a downtown nightclub earlier this year were identified Thursday afternoon, several hours after prosecutors charged a man with killing her.

So, so sad. Rest in peace, Kenia.

 

[tfrohning]

I just can't help thinking that he was involve with more murders.

If he took them to body did he confess will there still be a trial?

Apparently they made a plea deal so he led them to her body. That always worries me. However, I do understand the family wanting closure.

I hope they keep him behind bars for a very long time even with whatever deal they made with him. :sigh:

I believe the deal was for the state NOT to seek the death penalty.

 

[grandmaj]

Well he has been charged with First Degree Murder so he will be in jail for a while and not be able to do this again. It is clear the man has some real anger issues. News just said he got into an argument with her and that is why he killed her.

Cluciano I imagine the same. I feel like they may have never found her. She is not in a spot that would be dug up anytime soon.

Sometimes I make believe that there is a land far away that we dont know of that all the missing people live on, safe and sound of course.

Police investigating the disappearance of 19-year-old Kenia Monge searched a computer at Travis Forbes' workplace and found he had visited multiple websites for women who had been reported missing.

Monica Poole, who rented space to Forbes at Deby's Bakery and Cafe in Aurora for his granola-bar business and is a witness in the Monge case, said Forbes often spent the night in her office, scanning the Internet.

[SurfieTX]

Poole says Forbes also continually stole money from her cash register until she threatened to call police. Even then, she says he stole more from her cash register the day Monge disappeared.

One receipt Forbes left in the bakery shows he bought $90 worth of lumber, including 1 X4 pieces of wood and wood planks.

Quote from your article:

Police sources told 9News there are similarities between the murder of Monge and attempted murder of the Fort Collins woman. Clint Van Zandt, a former FBI behavioral profiler, said that suggests there may be more victims that can be linked to him.
"The question for law enforcement is not, 'Is he capable of murder?' but how many people he might have killed," Van Zandt told 9News on Friday.

​

I'm wondering what the similarities are. They seem like 2 totally different scenarios. The lady in Ft. Collins...he broke into her apt., sexually attacked her and then set her apt. on fire. Kenia was at a nightclub, ?, killed, and then buried by a freeway.
